The 网曝门 reviews incoming first-year students via the self-reported transcript and academic record system (STARS). For a student to be considered for admission, they must provide a self-reported academic record of all coursework completed in high school (secondary school). Students who apply via the Common Application will typically provide the required information as a part of their submitted application. Students applying via the Oregon application will receive a link to provide the information after submitting their application.
The information provided on the STARS will be used to review the application for admission and consider the student for scholarships. It is important that the information be accurate and match the student鈥檚 high school transcript information. Grades and coursework should not be entered from memory. Students should have a copy of their transcripts when completing this section. Often, unofficial copies will have all of the necessary information. Students can obtain a copy of their transcript from their school counselor or registrar.
In order to finalize their admission, students must provide a final official high school transcript to the Office of Admissions prior to enrollment. If information on the final official high school transcript differs from information provided on the STARS, a student鈥檚 admission and scholarship offer could be revoked.
- Students who attended multiple high schools must provide an official transcript that shows all coursework. If information is omitted or changed on the current institution鈥檚 transcript, an official transcript from all schools attended must be provided.

Self-Reported Transcript and Academic Record System FAQ
What happens if I don't complete the Self-Reported Transcript and Academic Record System (STARS)?
Regardless of the application used, a student will not be reviewed for admission until the STARS is completed.
What if I send my transcript at the time I apply, will that work in lieu of my Self-Reported Transcript and Academic Record System (STARS)?
No. The 网曝门 does not accept high school transcripts in lieu of the STARS, and the application will not be reviewed until the STARS is completed. We encourage students to utilize a transcript to complete the STARS to ensure accurate information. In order to satisfy the high school graduation and STARS validation requirement, students must submit an official final high school transcript after graduation and before enrolling at the 网曝门.
If I attended more than one high school, do I need a separate final transcript for each school?
If all coursework and grades are represented on the final high school transcript, then we will not need separate transcripts from each school.
What happens if I realize I made a mistake after submitting the application? How do I correct errors?
If a student recognizes an error on their STARS, they have the ability to update the STARS through their application status portal. They will receive an email from the Office of Admissions after applying for admission with login credentials to the application status portal.
Am I able to go back in and add new grades received?
Yes. Students have the ability to update the STARS through the application status portal until February 15. This is strongly encouraged.
Can I round up when entering my grades or GPA?
No, the student should not round up grades or GPA. They will be expected to provide accurate information as it appears on their high school transcript(s). If information on the final official high school transcript differs from information provided on the STARS, a student鈥檚 admission and scholarship offer could be revoked.
How does the UO calculate my weighted GPA?
The 网曝门 considers students for admission and scholarships based on a cumulative weighted GPA. This GPA is recalculated based on a student鈥檚 completed coursework and may not be the same as the GPA shown on the transcript. Grades reported on the STARS should be reported exactly as they are on your high school transcript(s). The UO will include all grades from coursework from ninth grade forward. Eighth-grade coursework in math or foreign language completed at the high school (secondary) level will be included in the unit counts for that subject area, but the grades will not be included in the GPA calculation if reported on the high school transcript. Weight is added to grades based on certain types of rigor recognized in a particular course. Weight is only added for courses in which a grade of a "C-" or better is received. Courses completed and listed on the high school transcript in Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), Cambridge (AICE), or Dual Enrollment (College in High School) receive one (1) weight point (As are worth 5 instead of 4, Bs 4 instead of 3, etc.). Courses completed with an Honors designation receive 0.50 weight points (As are worth 4.5 instead of 4, Bs 3.5 instead of 3, etc.).
How do I list high school courses taken while I was in middle school or junior high school on the STARS?
Eighth-grade coursework in mathematics or foreign language completed at the high school (secondary) level will also be included if reported on the high school transcript. Please include these courses as being taken in "Middle School" on the STARS.
What grade should I select if a course is on my transcript but I didn't receive credit for the course?
Students should select 鈥淣o Credit鈥 as the grade value if they did not receive credit for taking the course. These are most often senior projects, community service requirements, or study halls.
Do I need to report repeated courses on my STARS?
Yes, all repeated or failed courses on the transcript must be reported.
What academic year should I list summer courses?
For summer coursework, please list the course(s) and grades in the preceding school year. For example, if a summer course is taken between 11th and 12th grade, the student will list the course and grade in the final semester of their 11th grade year on the STARS.
What if I cannot find my school in the list?
The STARS website uses a database of names from College Board called CEEB Codes, which may vary slightly from the common name of your school. When searching for a school, use variations of the official school name. If the institution is still not listed, students can manually enter the school information.
I'm graduating early, how do I enter in coursework?
For students graduating early, please ensure they have entered the correct dates of attendance. Verify that academic year selections and dates of attendance are correct.
What if I decide to take a gap year?
Students who go through our official gap-year process do not need to complete the STARS again.
Will I need to complete the STARS if I am a homeschool student?
Yes. Homeschool students are still required to self-report. Include any schools attended that are not homeschool鈥攆or example, a second-language course taken at the local public high school.
Will I need to complete the STARS if I earned a GED?
Yes. Students who earn a GED will need to self-report. Send the UO the official GED scores when applying.
What if my academic schedule changes or I want to update my STARS?
Students have the ability to update their STARS through the application status portal by February 15. Students should consult their assigned UO admissions counselor if there are any schedule changes to ensure they are meeting UO鈥檚 admissions requirements.
What if I can't submit or update my STARS?

- Review your STARS responses to ensure that all required fields have been completed (i.e. GPA, current grades, class rank/size, etc.) for each institution attended.
- Make sure you have entered coursework for grades 9-12 and be sure to include senior-year coursework in progress.
